Outdoor chain Gander Mountain has filed for bankruptcy and will close 32 stores, including several locations in Alabama. “Like many retailers, Gander Mountain experienced challenging traffic patterns and shifts in consumer demand resulting from increased direct-to-customer sales by key vendors and accelerated growth of e-commerce,” Gander Mountain said in a written statement. The retailer will close 32 underperforming stores – including four in Alabama – as part of its restructuring. Gander Mountain operates some 116 stores in 23 states, including Alabama locations in Florence, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden, Montgomery, Mobile and Opelika. Gander Mountain previously sought bankruptcy protections in the 1990s.
